Bonita man gets eight years for child porn distribution

A Bonita Springs man was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in federal prison for distributing child pornography.

Christopher Hall, 45, was also ordered to forfeit the computers he had used to commit the offense. He pleaded guilty on Nov. 30.

Court documents said an undercover FBI Task Force agent discovered in May 2014 that Hall was sharing child pornography using a peer-to-peer network. A federal search warrant was executed at his residence, and his computers were seized.

Forensic analysis revealed more than 2,500 images and nine videos depicting child pornography on those computers.

Hall admitted he was the only person who had used the computers and that he'd never shared his Internet connection. He said he began downloading child pornography 10 years ago.
